A new chapter for the TCS Sydney Mini Marathon

We’ve got big news! With over 50,000 runners across our 3 events and growing, we’re evolving into a two-day marathon festival to provide the best possible race experience.

 

Now, we know the Harbour Bridge has been a highlight, but with our exciting growth and the need to move to Saturday racing, closing it two days in a row just isn’t possible. While we can’t deliver the bridge, we’ve got something just as iconic – for the first time since our Abbott World Marathon candidacy began, you’ll cross the finish line at the steps of the Sydney Opera House!

 

The new TCS Sydney Mini Marathon gives you:

  • A stunning brand new CBD course that soaks up Sydney’s beauty 

  • A fast, fun, and accessible 5km course, perfect for first-timers, families, and kids.

  • Crossing the same finish line as the world’s best and sharing the stage with marathon legends such as Eliud Kipchoge. 

  • More time to soak up the festival atmosphere, so make a weekend of it and enjoy the city.

 

Whether you’re chasing a PB or soaking in the sights, this is your chance to run Sydney like never before. Be part of history. Be part of Australia's biggest running festival.

    Choose the start group that is the right fit for your predicted fitness level

    Make sure you're in the right starting group if you're a slower runner, jogger, or walker. The TCS Sydney Mini Marathon has five start groups, all seeded based on expected finish time. Your time won't be impacted; the timing chip only starts recording when you cross the start mats to the finish line mats. This lets you enjoy the event at your own pace and achieve your best result.

    Check out this friendly suggestion
  • The TCS Sydney Mini Marathon official results will be based on Gun Time. Participants will receive both Gun Time and Net Time on their finisher certificates.
